even the united states can't stop it. we can do it by changing the regime and installing a puppet government there. i don't know if that will work. that's probably the minimum that would be required. nobody wants to talk about that. they want to talk about surgical military strikes. they don't want to talk about the number of people who are going to die. when i'm in iran and have been there, i've talked to people who are anti-regime people who have been in jail and have been tore toured and they say, if there is an attack, we'll fight for iran. it's not as simple as we think. let's bomb the facilities and we'll be okay. i think it's a much larger discussion. >> eli, when you hear -- i know this is obviously a campaign, but when you hear president romney -- would be president romney saying i'm just going to call up and find out what he would like me to say, is that problematic? >> i think he's basically saying that israel is an ally. he would consult as obama consults with other u.s. allies. how's that any different than w
